Wow, this one stings. I'd be lying if I said I'm not a bit shocked. I'll be here if/when you need a replacement.

The suspense is killing me.
Apart from a bit of shopping (which I plan on completing tonight), Nesh is complete and ready for your perusal. Thank you for the opportunity!
I finished my background in it's entirety today, but I want to give it a good proofread before I submit it for your approval. Apart from buying gear and cleaning up my profile to your standards, Nesh should be good to go in the next day or two (it looks like we've got some more snow coming tonight so that may complicate matters a bit).
Everything is done in Hero Lab except gear purchasing. I'm also still writing the second half of his background. Other than that it's just a matter of formatting and Nesh will be ready for your perusal.
I found a few spare moments today to get to writing. Here is what I have so far. I quite like the tone of this character, and I am beyond excited to play a Katapeshi ninja. Very cool. Background:
I was looking for the town where I was born when I was taken. After I did some things I’m not proud of, Rathamyn, the bastard, told me that I should begin my search southward, in Quantium. But that would mean I’d have to travel through the Trackless Storm… I couldn’t ignore the lead, I’d always wanted to know who I was; where I’d come from. So, I made my way south, stopping over in Tiven’s Reed to resupply. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about whether I’d survive the storms, but luckily, I didn’t get the chance to find out. I was just a few miles south of town when I heard them. Our caravan was hit before I had a chance to react, and a sack was thrown over my head while a rough rope pinned my arms to my sides. I struggled - I have scars on my arms from the rope burn - but it didn’t matter. Something blunt and hard cracked into the back of my skull and that was that.
When I came to, I had no idea how many days we’d been travelling. They kept the sack on my head, only exposing my mouth to squirt a wineskin into my parched lips or shove a few bits of hardtack down my throat. But it wasn’t long before I noticed the smell. Long before I could hear the dull groan of the stinking masses, I knew where they were taking me. To Castle Clarion on the southern edge of the city. And from there, the slave markets of Katapesh... I recognized the impressive complex immediately. The slender towers and the red slate roofs, not to mention the black-sailed ships at dock. While I’d never seen it with my own eyes, I had heard the stories. Dread hardened into a stone in the pit of my stomach as hopelessness cut through my sun-addled mind like a razor. Then, everything changed. We were less than a day’s march from the castle when she struck. One of the slavers exploded into a flurry of cuts, spins, and slices as men screamed and died all around her. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t do anything but stand and stare at her. Not to mention the fact that I had absolutely no idea why she was attacking her comrades, but they way she moved held me spellbound. Once they all lay dead or dying in the sand she rushed toward me. I readied myself to meet my maker, but as she thrust her arm out, it contained not a weapon, but an open hand, “Come with me, quickly!” Comments are welcome.
I have installed the community mod for Hero Lab that features the unchained version of the ninja, but am having trouble getting it to show up on my character (which is odd because I have other mods like the gestalt variant set up and they work fine). That is delaying the crunch, and I've also been battling a cold which has been delaying the fluff. I'm confident I will have Nesh ready to go by the recruitment deadline.
Here is sixteenbiticon's alias. LN Gnome UC Ninja using a (modified with GM approval) bladed scarf. I plan on taking the Reclaiming Your Roots campaign trait (the item being a masterwork bladed scarf). Much more to come, obviously. Excuse the long silly name (because, gnome) but luckily he prefers to be called Nesh. Edit: I forgot to mention that he is also a follower of Sivanah and an initiate in the Order of the Blistered Beetle. |
